This year, Corvinus University of Budapest has been awarded in the category "Employability – Performance Improvement" by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). According to the QS, This award acknowledges the university’s significant strides in ensuring high employability for their graduates while nurturing future leaders who make substantial impacts in their respective fields. The award was presented on 11 July at QS European High Ed Summit 2024 in Sitges, near Barcelona, and was accepted by Péter Fehér, international head of Corvinus.
"This award is the result of a joint effort that my colleagues at the university are constantly working for, namely to ensure that Corvinus educates young graduates with marketable knowledge, motivated, ready to work and develop. I am proud that our achievements have been recognized internationally by one of the world's leading professional bodies in higher education," said Fehér.
"The labor market proves that we are on the right track: according to the data of the Hungarian Education Office, the salary advantage of Corvinus students is outstanding, they earn on average HUF 207,000 more than the average of all graduates of all economic education courses who have received a bachelor's degree nine years ago, which makes the average gross salary of Corvinus students the highest in the country," said Richárd Szántó, dean of Corvinus responsible for undergraduate studies.
Among the master's degrees, graduates from Corvinus can also earn the most, on average up to HUF 160,000-180,000 more than graduates from similar master's degrees in other Hungarian countries. According to the latest data from the Education Office for 2023, the average salary of a finance graduate who has been at Corvinus for nine years is HUF 1.1 million per month.
Two-thirds of Corvinus graduates are already in work during their studies, and with a fresh Corvinus degree, you can be in a job in less than a month, the university says.
